Inspiration
I noticed Alexa's built in response to getting the temperature returns quite a comprehensive weather report. Sometime all you need to know is the current temperature.
What it does
It prompts the user to tell their location, from which the skill uses that with a weather api to get a forecast, and only tell the user the temperature.
Temperature can be read out in Celsius or Fahrenheit
How I built it
I built this using c# along with a serverless architecture on azure functions.
Challenges I ran into
converting location from town name to a latitude and longitude . as well as storing user settings in table storage
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The skill was initially just for me, but given the demand for the use of having the temperature read out in fahrenheit, I had to make adjustments to cater for other users too.
What I learned
whilst a fairly simple skill, this is definitely one of my most popular one, because it really does save time.
What's next for Temperature Now
use the built in location apis provided to get location.
